Not something I'd want, but if it works for you, and you don't mind the look, then OK by me.

Ask your wife. She'll probably be wondering where that thing is next time she gets to the refrigerator.

Hell, it's your car, do as you wish. You've got a bump protection factor and you're keeping the amp well ventilated. However, personally, I would have used a heavy, metal mesh, painted the same color as the surrounding carpet. Same end result, protection factor and efficiency-wise, and better looking, at least to my way of thinking.

If it was me I would get some plexiglass and build a protective cover for your amp. You can get the stuff in clear or tinted. It's available in most any color you want. Cut a couple if vents in it and wire in an 80mm or 90mm computer case fan to create airflow. You can probably do the whole project for $30 or $40 bucks.

You can get clear plexiglass at the home improvement stores. Google it if your not sure what plexiglass is.

Let us know what you end up doing.
